cooler for HP ProLiant DL385 G1

[G. Vollant]

Hello,
I've HP ProLiant DL385 G1 with one cpu.

I want add a second CPU.
The HP kit (cpu+cooler) seem out of stock (at least in France)

I can purchase an opteron 265 from AMD, but I also want a cooler compatible
with HP ProLiant DL385 G1 case and motherboard.

Do you known if cooler need to be HP specific, or if I can just purchase a
socket 940 cooler ? and do you have a suggestion for a cooler ?

thank you a lot for all these info.

Just a confirmation : 383337-001 is nammed " Processor power module (PPM) - 12VAC, 105A - For use with 2.6GHz processor"

I suppose we can use it with processor 1.8Ghz (which just need less power than 2.6 Ghz).

So we have now just to buy the 383337-001 and 378910-001 from HP France with the link you gave here, and an opteron 265 at any AMD reseller.

I've now another idea: do you think the ProLiant DL385 G1 accept opteron 285 cpu ?

If I buy one 383337-001, one 378910-001, two opteron 285 (2.6 Ghz), and I remove (and sell on Ebay) the old opteron 265, I can upgrade from one Opteron 165 1.8 Ghz to two opteron 285 2.6 Ghz ?

regards, thank you a lot for tips and info

Read at the last message : "I can upgrade from one Opteron 265 1.8 Ghz to two opteron 285 2.6 Ghz" instead

"I can upgrade from one Opteron 165 1.8 Ghz to two opteron 285 2.6 Ghz"

I've just received the HP kit (ordered with your link), with cooler and power regulator.

I wait an opteron 265 I purchased on ebay, I'll let you known when I'll install them !

Now I'm working to have the maximum amount of memory under Windows 2003 server 32 bits

OK waiting for your update

I received the package and an AMD Opteron.

Unfortunatelly, at boot, the system first display the two Opteron 265, then

"Unsupported processor Deteted in Socket 2" and the system halt.

I checked carrefully, and the first processor was a OST265FAA6CB and the processor I bought an OSA265FAA6CB

The difference is processor power
(OSA = "standard", OST = 68W? )
